Abstract

This is a Quasi-experimental Design research with Nonequivalent Control Groups pattern which aimed to compare blood sugar level among older adult people after consuming low glycemic index rice (parboiled rice products ALLOVE). Population is the elders who were served at 6 elderly care centers which are member of the network of elderly care organizations. The sample was 67 elderly within the specific criteria and was divided into 2 groups; 41 for experimental group and 26 for control group. Laboratory recordings of fasting blood sugar test (FBS) were collected for both before and after the experiment, and were analyzed by statistics, percentage, mean, standard deviation and t-test The experimental group was mostly female at the average age of 60-70 years, average weight of 60-70 kilograms and average height of 150-170 centimeters. The first experiment’s results showed that blood sugar level is very high. (148.19 mg/dl) After adjusting dietary habits by using rice with low glycemic index (parboiled rice products: ALLOVE) for a specific period of time. There is a tendency to help reducing blood sugar level by an average of one in four (40.31 mg/dl) from the original sugar level. If used in combination with conventional medicine, it is an option for consumers with high blood sugar. This leads to the dcrease of family expenses in the long run. The 1st and the 2nd blood sugar test compared to the 1st and the 3rd (26.92,40.31 mg/dl) blood sugar test among the experimental group were significantly different in terms of statistic at the level of 0.01. Whereas, the 2nd and the 3rd (13.39 mg/dl) test results were not different. in terms of statistic at the level of 0.01
